Aberdeen need to shake off their Europa League qualifier first-leg defeat when they open up their 2015/16 Scottish Premiership campaign against Dundee United on Sunday.

Dundee United v Aberdeen kicks off at 00.00am AEST on Monday (3.00pm UK time) and will be streamed live online.

Preview

The Dons suffered a 2-1 defeat away against Kairat in Kazakhstan on Thursday and they will be looking to bounce back to winning ways as soon as possible.

Although they suffered a defeat they could have done without out, they are still not out of the tie completely as Kenny Mclean managed to grab an away goal in the second half heading into their second-leg at home at Pittodrie Stadium next Thursday.

Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes was not too downbeat about the result in Kazakhstan and is confident that his men can get the job done in the second-leg.

The Dons need to put that game out of their minds for their season opener and they are favourites to open up with three points.

Although Dundee United have not had the benefit of any Europa League qualifiers to get them up to speed they have played six friendlies.

Unfortunately for The Terrors their form has been less than acceptable and they have lost every single match including back-to-back defeats against English sides – They lost 2-1 against Queens Park Rangers and 1-0 against Watford.

These two met twice last season with both teams grabbing a win each - Rooney scored the winner for Aberdeen in their first clash last April, while Robbie Muirhead got on the score sheet a month later as they won 1-0 at Tannadice Park.
